Inside the Plaza Premium Lounge

Sharing the Level 2 lounge corridor with the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge — turn right at the top of the stairs versus left for Maple Leaf — the Plaza Premium Lounge at YEG is the go-to choice for WestJet, Flair, and other non-Air Canada passengers, as well as Priority Pass or DragonPass holders departing on domestic or international (non-US) routes. At 4,500 square feet and 80 seats, it is slightly larger than the Maple Leaf Lounge beside it and consistently receives stronger food and beverage reviews.

The buffet rotates through hearty Canadian-inspired dishes, with a well-regarded breakfast service featuring eggs, sausage, and bacon, and a lunch and dinner spread incorporating dishes like teriyaki chicken, lentil stew, and fresh salad stations. Alberta craft beer is available on tap alongside the full self-serve bar. Showers are available — a meaningful differentiator from the adjacent Maple Leaf Lounge — for travelers needing a refresh before long hauls. Three computer workstations and full flight information monitors serve business travelers. The lounge operates until midnight, making it the better option for evening international departures from YEG. Children under 2 are free; children aged 2–11 are admitted with a paying adult.
